<b>PDFs</b>, single <b>pages</b>, and document <b>metadata</b>
(title, author, number of pages...)
</p>
<p>Docsplit is currently at <a href="http://rubygems.org/gems/docsplit">version 0.7.6</a>.</p>

</p>
<h2 id="installation">Installation & Dependencies</h2>
<ol>
<li>
Grab the gem:<br />
<tt>gem install docsplit</tt>
</li>
<li>
Install <a href="http://www.graphicsmagick.org/">GraphicsMagick</a>.
Its ‘<b>gm</b>’ command is used to generate images.<br />
Either compile it from
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/graphicsmagick/files/">source</a>,
or use a package manager:
<pre>
[aptitude | port | brew] install graphicsmagick</pre>
</li>
<li>
Install <a href="http://poppler.freedesktop.org/">Poppler</a>.
On Linux, use <b>aptitude</b>, <b>apt-get</b> or <b>yum</b>:<br />
<tt>aptitude install poppler-utils poppler-data</tt><br />
On the Mac, you can install from source or use <b>MacPorts</b>:<br />
<tt>sudo port install poppler | brew install poppler</tt><br />
</li>
<li>
(Optional) Install <a href="http://www.ghostscript.com/">Ghostscript</a>:<br />
<tt>[aptitude | port | brew] install ghostscript</tt><br />
Ghostscript is required to convert PDF and Postscript files.
</li>
<li>
(Optional) Install <a href="http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/">Tesseract</a>:<br />
<tt>[aptitude | port | brew] install [tesseract | tesseract-ocr]</tt><br />
Without Tesseract installed, you'll still be able to extract text from
documents, but you won't be able to automatically OCR them.
</li>
<li>
(Optional) Install <a href="http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/">pdftk</a>.
On Linux, use <b>aptitude</b>, <b>apt-get</b> or <b>yum</b>:<br />
<tt>aptitude install pdftk</tt><br />
On the Mac, you can <a href="https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-server/">download a recent installer</a> for the binary.
Without <b>pdftk</b> installed, you can use Docsplit, but won't be able
to split apart a multi-page PDF into single-page PDFs.
</li>
<li>
(Optional) Install <a href="http://www.libreoffice.org/">LibreOffice</a>.
On Linux, use <b>aptitude</b>, <b>apt-get</b> or <b>yum</b>:<br />
<tt>aptitude install libreoffice</tt><br />
On the Mac, download and install <a href="http://www.libreoffice.org/download">the latest release</a>.
</li>
<li>
(Optional) Install fonts to process documents that use <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fonts#Chinese.2C_Japanese.2C_and_Korean_Fonts">Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Fonts</a>.
On Linux, use <b>aptitude</b>, <b>apt-get</b> or <b>yum</b>:<br />
<tt>aptitude install ttf-wqy-microhei ttf-wqy-zenhei ttf-kochi-gothic ttf-kochi-mincho fonts-nanum</tt><br />
On the Mac, the fonts should already be present. However you can always download the TTF files and install them using <a href="http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201749">Font Book</a>.
</li>
</ol>
<p><i>
Note: the gem will take a minute to download — the
JODConverter jar file tips the scales at 2MB.
</i></p>
<h2 id="usage">Usage</h2>
<p>
The Docsplit gem includes both the <tt>docsplit</tt> command-line utility
as well as a Ruby API. The available commands and options are identical in both.<br />
<tt>--output</tt> or <tt>-o</tt> can be passed to any command in order to
store the generated files in a directory of your choosing.
</p>
<p>
<b class="header">images</b><code>--size --format --pages --density</code>
<span class="alias">Ruby: <b>extract_images</b></span>
<br />
Generates an image for each page in the document at the specified resolution
and format. Pass <tt>--pages</tt> or <tt>-p</tt> to choose the specific pages to
image. Passing<br /> <tt>--size</tt> or <tt>-s</tt> will specify the desired
image resolution, <tt>--density</tt> or <tt>-d</tt> will specify the DPI to rasterize the images
at during conversion by GraphicsMagick, and <tt>--format</tt> or <tt>-f</tt>
will select the format of the final images.
</p>
<pre>
docsplit images example.pdf
docsplit images docs/*.pdf --size 700x,50x50 --format gif --pages 3,10-15,42</pre>
<pre>
Docsplit.extract_images('example.doc', :size => '1000x', :format => [:png, :jpg])</pre>
<p class="break">
<b class="header">text</b><code>--pages --ocr --no-ocr --no-clean --language --no-orientation-detection</code>
<span class="alias">Ruby: <b>extract_text</b></span>
<br />
Extract the complete <b>UTF-8</b>-encoded plain text of a document to a
single file. If you'd like to extract the text for each page separately,
pass <tt>--pages all</tt>. You can use the <tt>--ocr</tt> and <tt>--no-ocr</tt>
flags to force OCR, or disable it, respectively. By default (if Tesseract is installed)
Docsplit will OCR the text of each page for which it fails to extract text
directly from the document. Docsplit will also attempt to clean up garbage
characters in the OCR'd text — to disable this, pass the
<tt>--no-clean</tt> flag.
</p>
<p>
By default Tesseract ships only with english extraction data.
If <a href="https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/downloads/list"/>
any additional language models</a> are installed you can select one using
the <tt>--language</tt> flag.
If <a href="https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/downloads/detail?name=tesseract-ocr-3.01.osd.tar.gz&can=2&q=">
Tesseract's orientation detection model</a> Docsplit will automatically use it
unless you specify not to with the <tt>--no-orientation-detection</tt>.
</p>
<pre>
docsplit text path/to/doc.pdf --pages all --language deu</pre>
<pre>
docs = Dir['storage/originals/*.doc']
Docsplit.extract_text(docs, :ocr => false, :output => 'storage/text')</pre>
<p class="break">
<b class="header">pages</b><code>--pages</code>
<span class="alias">Ruby: <b>extract_pages</b></span>
<br />
Burst apart a document into single-page PDFs. Use <tt>--pages</tt> to
specify the individual pages (or ranges of pages) you'd like to generate.
</p>
<pre>
docsplit pages path/to/doc.pdf --pages 1-10</pre>
<pre>
Docsplit.extract_pages('path/to/presentation.ppt')
Docsplit.extract_pages('doc.pdf', :pages => 1..10)</pre>
<p class="break">
<b class="header">pdf</b>
<span class="alias">Ruby: <b>extract_pdf</b></span>
<br />
Convert documents into PDFs. Any type of document that LibreOffice can read
may be converted. These include the Microsoft Office formats: <b>doc</b>, <b>docx</b>, <b>ppt</b>,
<b>xls</b> and so on, as well as <b>html</b>, <b>odf</b>, <b>rtf</b>, <b>swf</b>, <b>svg</b>, and <b>wpd</b>.
The first time that you convert a new file type, LibreOffice will lazy-load
the code that processes it — subsequent conversions will be much faster.
</p>
<pre>
docsplit pdf documentation/*.html</pre>
<pre>
Docsplit.extract_pdf('expense_report.xls')</pre>
<p class="break">
<b class="header">author, date, creator, keywords, producer, subject, title, length</b><br />
<small><i>Ruby: <b>extract_...</b></i></small>
<br />
Retrieve a piece of metadata about the document. The <tt>docsplit</tt>
utility will print to <b>stdout</b>, the Ruby API will return the value.
</p>
<pre>
docsplit title path/to/stooges.pdf
=> Disorder in the Court</pre>
<pre>
Docsplit.extract_length('path/to/stooges.pdf')
=> 36</pre>
<h2 id="internals">Internals</h2>
<p>
Under the hood, Docsplit is a thin wrapper around the excellent
<a href="http://www.graphicsmagick.org/">GraphicsMagick</a>,
<a href="http://poppler.freedesktop.org/">Poppler</a>,
<a href="http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/">PDFTK</a>,
<a href="http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/">Tesseract</a>, and
<a href="http://www.libreoffice.org/">LibreOffice</a> libraries.
Poppler is used to extract text and metadata from PDF documents,
PDFTK is used to split them apart into pages, and GraphicsMagick is used to generate
the page images (internally, it's rendering them with
<a href="http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/GPL/index.htm">GhostScript</a>).
LibreOffice and GraphicsMagick convert documents and images to PDF.
Tesseract provides the transparent OCR fallback support, if the document
is a simple scan, and the file doesn't contain any embedded text.
</p>
<p>
Because documents need to be in PDF format before any metadata, text,
or images are extracted, it's faster to use <tt>docsplit pdf</tt>
to convert it up front, if you're planning to run more than one extraction.
Otherwise Docsplit will write out the PDF version to a temporary file before
proceeding with each command.
</p>
<h2 id="changes">Change Log</h2>
<p>
<b class="header">0.7.6</b><small> – Nov. 16, 2014</small><br />
Docsplit will now automatically use Tesseract's orientation detection model
if it is installed.
</p>
<p>
<b class="header">0.7.5</b><small> – May 28, 2014</small><br />
Docsplit will detect PDFs regardless of extension using magic number-based
detection.
</p>
<p>
<b class="header">0.7.2</b><small> – Feb. 23, 2013</small><br />
Bug fixes for LibreOffice support.
</p>
<p>
<b class="header">0.7.0</b><small> – Feb. 23, 2013</small><br />
Docsplit now expresses a preference for LibreOffice over OpenOffice, with
an eye to removing JODConverter and OpenOffice support in future versions
(direct LibreOffice support is substantially faster than JODConverter).
Improved unicode support now correctly collects non-ascii characters from
pdfinfo.
</p>
<p>
<b class="header">0.6.4</b><small> – Nov. 12, 2012</small><br />
Added a language flag for the Docsplit commandline, fixed several bugs,
and began preparations for the deprecation of pdftk.
</p>
<p>
<b class="header">0.6.2</b><small> – Nov. 22, 2011</small><br />
Bugfix to escape document names during file type detection.
</p>
<p>
<b class="header">0.6.1</b><small> – Nov. 18, 2011</small><br />
Docsplit now supports converting documents using LibreOffice
as well as OpenOffice, through JODConverter 3.0 beta4.
</p>
<p>
<b class="header">0.6.0</b><small> – Sept. 13, 2011</small><br />
Docsplit should now handle shelling out for documents with arbitrary
characters in their filenames correctly, thanks to a series of
epic patches from Vladimir Rybas.
A <tt>--density</tt> option was added for specifying the resolution of
rasterization when generating images from documents.
The image resolution for OCR has been doubled from 200 to 400 DPI —
this shouldn't make a noticeable difference for normal docs, but will make
a world of difference for the fine print.
Docsplit now uses GraphicsMagick's <tt>--despeckle</tt> before OCR.
</p>
<p>
<b class="header">0.5.2</b><small> – May 13, 2011</small><br />
For transparent conversion to PDF, made Docsplit prefer GraphicsMagick
over OpenOffice, when the file format is one that GraphicsMagick is able
to read: (png, gif, jpg, jpeg, tif, tiff, bmp, pnm, ppm, svg, eps).
</p>
<p>
<b class="header">0.5.1</b><small> – April 26, 2011</small><br />
Minor tweaks to the <tt>TextCleaner</tt> to be more lenient about acryonms
with hyphens, and words with four vowels in a row.
</p>
<p>
<b class="header">0.5.0</b><br />
Added a <tt>Docsplit::TextCleaner</tt> class which is used to post-process
OCR'd text, and remove garbage characters that are created when Tesseract
encounters non-english text. To disable the cleanup, pass <tt>--no-clean</tt>.
</p>
<p>
<b class="header">0.4.1</b><br />
Upgraded the JODConverter dependency for PDF conversion via OpenOffice to
3.0 beta. Added PNG, GIF, TIF, JPG, and BMP to the list of supported
formats.
</p>
<p>
<b class="header">0.3.4</b><br />
Adding a suggested optimization from the GraphicsMagick list -- only ever
generate one page image per GraphicsMagick call. Saves large amounts of
disk space for tempfiles on long documents.
</p>
<p>
<b class="header">0.3.3</b><br />
Start using the MAGICK_TMPDIR environment variable to prevent parallel
Docsplit runs from having the potential to clobber each other's temporary
image files.
</p>
<p>
<b class="header">0.3.1</b><br />
Added a memory limit to GraphicsMagick while generating the TIFFs for
Tesseract OCR -- prevents <tt>gm</tt> from gobbling up all available memory
on large files.
</p>
<p>
<b class="header">0.3.0</b><br />
OCR support added via Tesseract, and the <tt>--ocr</tt> and <tt>--no-ocr</tt>
flags. PDFBox is no longer a dependency, and the gem is many megabytes
lighter for it.
</p>
<p>
<b class="header">0.2.0</b><br />
Moving to Poppler's <tt>pdftotext</tt>. PDFBox had issues with Unicode in PDFs
and incorrectly split individual pages of text.
</p>
<p>
<b class="header">0.1.3</b><br />
Fixing a bug with specifying explicit page ranges for image extraction.
</p>
<p>
<b class="header">0.1.2</b><br />
Limiting the memory usage of GraphicsMagick to avoid out of memory errors
on very large PDFs.
</p>
<p>
<b class="header">0.1.1</b><br />
Upgraded for compatibility with GraphicsMagick 1.3.11.
</p>
<p>
<b class="header">0.1.0</b><br />
Initial Docsplit release.
